May I wish you all a Happy Western New Year which begins on January 1st and I hope to welcome you to ISMINIM 2019, the International Society of Minimally Invasive and Noninvasive Medicine which will take place in Chongqing in 13-14 July 2019, in association with the meeting of the Chinese Medical Doctors Association.

The last meeting in 2017 saw 140 lectures in two and a half days, with 7 parallel sessions. Around 600 participants took part, among which about 480 from China and 120 from 16 different countries.

According to CMDA's estimation, we are expecting more than 800 participants in 2019, so make sure you are one of them. I look forward to seeing you there.
